What disposable bouffant caps are for
Disposable bouffant caps cover the whole head of hair to keep strands and particles out of food and clean areas. The pleated clip design holds the cap in place during movement, and the light polypropylene fabric breathes, so the head does not overheat during long services.
- Full coverage — at 50 cm (19.7 in), the cap covers long or voluminous hair.
- Secure fit — welded, elasticated edges adapt to all head shapes.
- Featherweight — about 3 grams per cap.
- Practical packing — bags of 100 caps for daily use.

Hair restraints and the FDA Food Code
Section 2-402.11 of the FDA Food Code requires food employees to wear hair restraints such as hats, hair coverings or nets, and beard restraints, that effectively keep their hair from contacting exposed food, clean equipment, utensils, linens and unwrapped single-service articles. State and local health codes adopt this rule in their own editions.
Direct Eco Green supplies bouffant caps as a hair restraint that covers all hair in one layer. To put one on, pinch the elasticated edges with clean hands, stretch gently, and check that every strand is covered. Replace the cap if it loses elasticity, and discard it after use in an appropriate bin. Store bags away from moisture and sunlight.
Compliance documents for the US and Canada
The factory documents conformity of these caps to EU Directive 93/42/EEC as amended by Directive 2007/47/EC, a European reference that is useful if you also sell in Europe but is not a US requirement. For US buyers, the practical reference is the FDA Food Code hair-restraint rule above, plus any requirements in your customers' food-safety audits.
Hair restraints, beard covers and aprons are not among the six product categories covered by Canada's Single-use Plastics Prohibition Regulations (checkout bags, cutlery, stir sticks, straws, ring carriers and certain foodservice ware), which the Federal Court of Appeal confirmed on January 30, 2026 remain in force.
Keep environmental claims specific under the FTC Green Guides; avoid unqualified "eco-friendly" or "biodegradable" wording on resale packaging.
Custom colors and private label
Direct Eco Green can supply bouffant caps in white, blue or a custom color for zone coding, in private-label bags for distributors. Order them together with food service hair nets, beard covers and powder-free vinyl gloves in one shipment.
